That's why you have a delete key. I haven't participated in a roll call, but can see how they're quick and efficient for looking for a particular ancestor. When I don't see a name in which I'm interested, I just delete. Quick. Painless. And, others get to try to find an ancestor. We don't have to read anything we don't want to. -----Original Message----- From: Ruth Hinkle Kicklighter <rkickli@phoenix.net> To: COOK-L@rootsweb.com <COOK-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, March 06, 1999 3:06 PM Subject: Re: [COOK-L] Roll Calls--Ugh I agree Ruths lacy wrote: > Whenever I see roll call mentioned I shudder.

To the person who asked what a roll call is. A roll call is when some person decides that they don't have enough to do so they send an e-mail to the whole list telling you what surnames they are looking for. Some people do this on the average of once a month. Others so it when a thread is created. Either way most of us just delete it unless the subject line looks inviting.

Elusive Kinsman By Wayne Hand Kinsman Alas, my elusive kinsmen You've led me quite a chase I thought I'd found your courthouse But the Yankees burned the place. You always kept your bags packed Although you had no fame, and Just for the fun of it Twice you changed your name. You never owed any man, or At least I found no bills In spite of eleven offspring You never left a will. They say our name's from Europe Came state side on a ship Either they lost the passenger list Or granddad gave them the slip. I'm the only one that's looking Another searcher I can't find I play (maybe that's his fathers name) As I go out of my mind. They said you had a headstone In a shady plot I've been there twenty times, and Can't even find the lot. You never wrote a letter Your Bible we can't find It's probably in some attic Out of sight and out of mind. You first married a..........Smith And just to set the tone The other four were Sarah's And everyone a Jones. You cost me two fortunes One of which I did not have My wife, my house and Fido God, how I miss that golden lab. But somewhere you slipped up, Ole Boy, Somewhere you left a track And If I don't find you this year Well..........Next year I'll be back.
